Abstract
The high cost of commercial feeds prompted poultry raisers to look for the alternative source of feed ingredients such as bus-busi leaf meal. Therefore, this study on the use of bus-busi leaf meal in the level of (5%, 10% and 15%) was conducted from November 27,2015 to December 31,2015 at Barangay Bumbuneg, San Gabriel, La Union. A total of 60 14-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments, following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three blocks.
The results of the study showed that birds fed with different levels of bus-busi leaf meal showed comparable performance in terms of final weight, gain in weight, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and profit.
